Johnny's got something to say
Says he'll say it someday
Has to go away for a year
Away from his family
He was always young
And they were always old
No one listens anyway
So he'll move away
Bring you down...

Now he's got a brand new home
I knew he'd get it some way
Living in another place
Away from his homeland
But he was always wrong
And they were always right
At least that's what they like to think
Open your minds
Bring you down...

He doesn't want to go away
But how can he stay?
Doesn't want to leave this life
But life doesn't pay
But he was always right
And they were always wrong
It's just that they're too blind to see
Open your eyes
Bring you down...
